yes and I can’t figure out why he’s dragging this on for so long. Other states are opening up sooner.
My wife is a teacher in Virginia. A month ago, Blackface Northam announced that schools would be closed for the rest of the year. It was laughably premature. My wife and many of her friends speculate that in order to save face he can't open the Commonwealth back up earlier than what would have been the close of the school year.
My wife is a reading specialist. She teaches little kids who are smart but having trouble learning how to read. She says these kids are doing nothing at home and are losing the most critical three months of their entire education where it comes to reading. She says they will be pushed to the next grade and will be unprepared. They will never learn to read properly, which will have a negative ripple effect on them for the rest of their lives. She is sick about this.
Two reasons. Power of course. But the other, bigger reason: the worse he craters the state, the greater the opportunity he has to totally corrupt it by rebuilding it in his demented and authoritarian image. This is what all these dem governors who are prepared to defy the 'reopen America' efforts are really going after. More pain = more power = more movement on agenda. They want you to suffer so they can advance their agenda, plain and simple.
